Cupra R
« on: 15 October 2011, 00:53 »
Hi all

Have the mk3 now for 6 years and time to move on...want a seat Leon cupra r....have a 10 month old, Leon has the 5 door, looks under stated and goes like stink....

Only prob is and u prob won't believe this....

There isn't one for sale i'n the whole country (Ireland).

Been searching for a while one or two pop up but not for long...

Need to sell my two golfs first but a bit annoyed the fact there's no options out there for this car here...

I know theres loads for sale on rvau and piston heads etc but the tax to bring them i'n is a killer

Bit of a rant but just frustrated that I can't buy the car I want when there's plenty across the water for sale

Leon Cupra Rs are few and far between in Ireland and most people who own one are holding on them  :undecided: There's a decent one for sale just north of the border, you'll save on the trip to England but still have to pay VRT  :undecided: Robbie was selling his Cupra R a few weeks ago but it's highly modified, 300+ bhp kinda thing, so might not be suitable.

The vrt is 2400 on a 2005 cupra with 60k on the clock...by the time you factor i'n travel and insurance etc prob not worth the trip....be doing very well to bring one for around 7k...

I'll keep an eye....have to sell my own car first
